Desk Top Computer Storage Servers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this along with a new desk top computer.

This was the least clunky monitor riser I could find that also gave me a couple of cubbies for desk-top storage. I use it to hold and charge my iPad and iPhone on the top shelf, and store my papers underneath, for a clutter-free desktop. I

I bought this for a computer / standing desk that needed a smaller surge strip on top (I'm still using a basic Furman for that) but wanted more power protection before it. This unit is remarkably robust and I suspect it will be solid.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Clean, solid installation, allows me to clear the top of the desk while keeping easy access to the Power button as well as the various ports and allows to hide the wiring, Easy to install under the top of the desk near the front or on a wall. A computer that is very resistant to heat and dust. State-of-the-art components cpu, ram memory, ssd etc. This computer will serve me for several years before being obsolete. Very happy with the price paid. Propre, installation solide,me permet de dégager le dessus du bureau tout en gardant un acces facile au bouton Power ainsi qu'aux différents ports et permet de cacher le cablâge, Facile à installer sous le dessus du bureau prêt de l'avant ou sur un mur. Un ordinateur très endurant à la chaleur et la poussière. Composantes à la fine pointe de la technologique cpu, mémoire ram,ssd etc. Cet ordinateur me servira plusieurs années avant d'être désuet. Très content du prix payé.

This hub allowed me to connect my peripherals to my desk top without having to attach the USB cables from them to the computer each time I want to use those components.

I wanted a local storage solution for our Photo Archives even though we have networked and cloud-based servers. With its mirrored RAID configuration I'm confident we won't lose any images. The Thunderbolt interface is fast and having USB 3.0 makes it flexible. A while back we had our company servers (and backup servers) crash and would have lost 15-20 years worth of images if it hadn't been for our local archives. So I kind of swear by these now.

I use this switch in my home lab to interconnect my ESXii host servers and my storage arrays which all use 10 GbE connections. Its much cheaper to use this switch's SFP+ ports with twinax cables than buying a similar 10GbE-BaseT switch which costs twice as much and has higher latency. The switch documentation is excellent. The CLI is Cisco-like. It can be managed stand-alone via CLI and/or web. It can also be managed via TP-Link's Omada SDN controller and Cloud managed options. At this price point this amount of features is amazing in my opinion. Highly recommend.

I have been using Synology's storage devices for years at my office as file servers and will continue to do so. They are very easy to use and very secure. They include a lot of valuable features as well. Very reliable and great performance. I highly recommend buying from B&H!

It servers its purpose.
